Things I liked:I like the power and it is accurate. With ordinary average 7gr pellets it doesn't even make the 500ft/sec mark, shoots about 40ft/s faster than my CP88 comp.Things I would have changed:I would stop advertising it as a 560ft/s gun because it isn't unless you use the lightest pellet you can find 4gr or soWhat others should know:My Walther / Umarex Cp88 Competition fires those pellets at (PBA Platinum ) @ 560 ft/s. I looked on your website a while back ( anything on website can be changed in seconds ) amd was impressed by your claim of 560ft/s
I am am Engineer and looked all over the sites at that time, well over a month ago( as did others ) to find out what what pellet was used in the tests to come up with you 560/ft/s. and could find no information on the website what pellet was used.
Like I said my CP88 shoots lightweight pellets at well over 500Ft/s so if a lightweight pellet was used to make your 560ft/s I would not be interested in buying it as my Walther has a 6 inch barrel and your PT85 has over 12 inches of barrel and doesn't shoot that much faster.
So with my engineering background I figure the greater velocity was due to the
increase ( over 6 inches ) in barrel length which made sense to me.
Just to make sure I emailed the shop I bought it from and asked them about it and they told me they don't test the guns and I should contact Gamo if I wanted the information.
I contacted GamoUSA and recieved this message "All our guns are tested with a standard 7-8 gr. pellet" which has proved to be a bald faced lie, possibly intended to make a sale as I explained why I wanted to know.

Things I liked:Very Good looking GunThings I would have changed:The Rail System is a joke. It is mounted on the front of the main frame which is molded plastic and flexes like it was made from rubber. The entire rail system is so unstable I don't know how anyone can get any repeatability. Just look thru the sight and push your finger ever so gently on the system and it moves all over the place. If I were a Gamo Engineer I would mount the system to the internal metal frame otherwise it is not worth having. The Red Dot scope is not a dot!..it is an array of dots and they don't even make a tight circle. Mine looks like crap. laser is pathetic, at 50 feet it lights up a 6 inch spot.Just being brutally honest.What others should know:Don't waste your money. The gun might be good without all the crap accessories. Just buy a stripped down PT-85 i guess.

Things I liked:This is a nice gun it has good weight and feel has a lot of power for the money plus a good quality gun.Things I would have changed:Have a option to change out barrel.What others should know:Buy a lot of c02s its a lot of fun to shoot.

Things I liked:Extremely nice design. I don't understand why some other people are complaining. This gun has everything.
I love how heavy this gun feels in my hand and with the blowback added to it, that's just amazing.
The loudness of this gun should be changed to 2-3 (low-medium) as it really is quiet compared to other CO2 based .177 airguns.
What else I love about this gun is the extremely good accuracy thanks to its low recoil and the very smooth trigger, and I've owned several different CO2 guns to say that.Things I would have changed:The only thing I would like is being able to fire bullets as well. This gun is capable of only firing pellets, but personally, this is not really a big deal.What others should know:You really get what you pay for, which is: accuracy, power = fun !

Things I liked:Great looking gun but over all quality stops there.Things I would have changed:Build quality. I don't think it would be that hard to make the barrel and rail more stable.What others should know:If you want to shred soda cans this is the fun gun for you! But that's about as far as it goes. Sadly most of the comments posted here are correct.I've purchased 3 of these and returned all. For a plinker I could even accept the flimsy rail but on each one the barrel was loose or eventually became loose after a short while. Still, if you're willing to accept a 1 1/2 to 2 inch group it is fun to shoot.

Things I liked:The gun itself is solid. and shoots repeatably.Things I would have changed:GAMO's customer service. I sent an e-mail regarding only receiving 2 of the 3 batteries required for the laser sight, and included my return address. They replied with my original e-mail attached saying that they wouldn't do anything without a copy of the order showing it had been purchased within 30 days, and to provide a return address as well as a description of the problem. I replied with a copy of the paperwork t, restated the problem noting that it was the same as in my previous e-mail, and included my mailing address again. I also mentioned that the optical sight lacked enough vertical adjustment to fully sight it in; I haven't received a response since.What others should know:The optical sight lacks sufficient vertical adjustment; at 15 feet the impact can be adjusted from 2" low to about 10" low. The quad-rail mount is weakly mounted and flexes easily.

Guy's, I own 3 Gamo Co2 Pistol models, the PT85, P25, PT80,(and also the "K1 Dennis Koenig Special" PT80), and after many hours of testing I've found that if you truly want to bring out your guns potential accuracy, I suggest you go ahead and try H&N Baracuda Match rounds. with a head size of 4,53mm, or H&N Field Target Trophies with a head size of either 4.53, 4.54, or 4.55mm, The difference is like night and day, If H&N pellet's are hard for you to come by, the next best bet is the Crosman Premier "SuperPoint" round, It's a fantastic pellet and flies like a spiral thrown by Joe Namath, IMHO They're that good. In Alloy, Try and stay away from GAMO round's, they're over-priced, and perform better in Gamo videos than in real life.Also if your looking to achieve that Glorious 560fps mark that they advertise then use Crosman SSP's, @ only 4gr,. they'll get you those numbers, but beyond 10M, all you're doing is wasting your time, and Money. Hope this Help's. Cheer's, Andy.

Wayne is 100% correct .I also have a CP-88 competition. No Blowback gun can come close in accuracy. I have a 2X scope, shoot cans at 75ft.
The Desert Eagle is more accurate,
but the slides break. Broke three, got refund.

After owning it for a few months my opinion has changed a bit. It has a plastic mag and the pellets keep getting jammed because when one pellet is shot the rest will move around a bit and the gun will jam because of the non needed blowback feature without it they might hit the 560ft mark with a 7gr pellet who knows but I hate fake stuff and shoot better with non blowback guns. Making the clips out of plastic is ridiculous because the more you use them the looser the pellets become.So besides being full of crap about the velocity, it fires under 500ft/s with an ordinary 7gr pellet it jams all the time. I also said the accuracy was good, well I got lucky the first time and changing pellets I found some of them go all over the place so you have to find the correct pellet for the gun and the distance which is time consuming. I still give it a 5 star because the cost was very low and it can be accurate, the jamming is bothersome though.

Things I liked:I love the power and wicked sighting...between the infared red dot and laser scope she's beautiful.Things I would have changed:Full auto would be off the chains.What others should know:Make sure your red dot and scope are properly aligned, keep good batteries handy and plenty of Co2 and ammo w/clips

Things I liked:This is a good looking and powerful CO2 Pistol. The first one had a leak and after testing a couple of cartridges (emptied within about 4 hours) i contacted Pyramid Air. These guys rock, everything was arranged for an exchange with a couple of emails and a week later i had the new one at my door. Thanks PA for your level of customer care.
As for the gun, good weight and balance, great power and overall well worth the price. Have a BSA red dot on it which is a perfect fit for both size and looks and because of the large diameter, offers an exceptionally clear view. If you want a nice target pistol but are not prepared for a 2300T (which is also a great product) then this is well worth the investment. Things I would have changed:the rails are a little bit wobbly and would benefit from a tighter fit. you can only screw the bolts so far before stressing the plastic. Should have 2 pellet cartridges from the start. I am sure people still will buy more. What others should know:Pellet picky but once you get things organized and settled, a very steady target pistol.

Things I liked:Nice looking, can mount scopes, lasers and flashlightThings I would have changed:NothingWhat others should know:This is a very powerful pistol. @ 560 FPS. Use a very strong pellet trap with this gun

Things I liked:I am very happy with it. Love the high velocity. I bought this one rather than the tactical version because it was almost $100 cheaper. I had no use for the little flashlight that comes with the tactical version. I bought a dot sight and laser separately for about $30. Things I would have changed:The magnets in the rotary clips in the magazine don't seem to hold BB's very well. The BB that's exposed (the last BB to be loaded) falls out. I would recommend using stronger magnets.What others should know:The fake suppressor makes the front end of the gun heavy, so you want to support it somehow to make your aim steadier.
The blow-back function uses up a significant amount of CO2.

Things I liked:i like the blow back feature on it i like the power i like the look of it as wellThings I would have changed:i would make the guns build quality better because it's great and all i love this gun but it has broke on me twice.i would not make the customer pay for shipping to send the gun to gamo and send it back it's 10 bucks twice because i had send it back twice it should have never broke in the first place and then not including postal charges.What others should know:sooner or later it's gonna break mine the gun at first would drop the magazine while firing and it would fire then i was unable to put the magazine back in it because i guess it was the seal behind the barrel pushed a piece of metal back that would lock or hold the mag in,second problem i sent it back to gamo they said they fixed i shot it a once after it was fixed it broke AGAIN so i looked in the breach the same thing i sent it in for was happening again so i got little screw diver pushed it back in and it worked for a while then the gun would fire 2 or 3 pellets and that it it left 6 to 5 in the mag so i sent back again and waiting to hear what their gonna do now

Things I liked:Good velocity. Semi-auto. Clean, quality design for price. Integrated bottom rail, independent of the add-on quad rail. Accurate enough for my purposes.Things I would have changed:Maybe allow blowback to be disabled. Jams are not too hard to remedy, but the literature doesn't seem to describe as much.What others should know:I removed the quad rail, and just use a Walther Night Force Laser/Light on the inherent bottom rail, so the SOCOM unit would have been a better value, for me. The unit will not function with Gamo lead-free, long-skirted pellets (the copper colored ones). Wadcutter-shaped pellets don't seem to feed too well, either, so stick with domed or pointed pellets.

Things I liked:Heft,Sights,able to shoot both BB's and Pellets.Things I would have changed:At this price point nothing that I can find.
What others should know:I have 5 pistols now and this and the px4 Beretta are my favorites. Buy it you wont be sorry. PA is just great People to work with and to buy from. You will have no worries with backup from them should you have questions or problems. Oh and buy an extra mag and lots of CO2. Have fun and shoot safe.

Things I liked:Well built, good power for first few shots. Great groups!!Things I would have changed:Metal scope mount. Was disapointed to find it was a poly type material worried it might break getting beat around in truck. Might look away from full blow back design to help with air usage.What others should know:Clips don't hold pelets very tight so just be aware if they are in your pocket.

Things I liked:Nice looking, blowback feature is pretty cool. Seems to be a nice powerful pistol.Things I would have changed:Very disappointed with the condition of the packaging. It seemed like the gun had been opened previously; not a big deal until I tried to shoot it. The pellets started jamming in the breach and wouldn't allow the clip to release to drop out. I was using recommended pellets, so I had a sense somebody had tampered with the gun before I got it and the pellets weren't firing right. What others should know:Gun lookked like it might be a lot of fun; but after spending over an hour trying to un-jam it I gave up and decided to send it back. I really wanted the power, but now I'm hesitant to look at any pistols where they use a clip that is so difficult to remove with a jam.

From my personal experience, if the round is jammed between the breach and the mag, it could be that the co2 valve wasn't functioning right and could release enough co2 to push the pellet out. You might want to get the seals on your gun checked.

Things I liked:the gun jammed first time i used it manage to unjamm it then it would not fire the pellet out of the mag ! I could,nt send it back ( custom,s ) Gamo told me they don,t send to the UK Gamo UK said they could,nt help because it was a import and to send it back to were I got it FedFx who brought the gun in to the UK cant take it back because of custom,s So I am not a happy bunny and I am stuck with a gun that does not work !!!

Things I liked:The look and feel, blow back action is cool good power and accurate.Very cool mag designThings I would have changed:The price, we all want to pay less dont we?What others should know:Well made gun. lots of fun to shoot, buy 7.0 gr or lower pellets. Barrel is full lenght of fake shroud

Things I liked:I love this things accuracy, and I love this things power! This has pretty big kick. I like pretty much everything about this pistol...I would definitely recommend this puppy to anyone.Things I would have changed:The laser sight included with this kit has a little clear plastic thing near the lens. It broke off or something, so I had to glue it in place. Otherwise, there is nothing about this product I would have changed.What others should know:Because of the large amount of kick I think this takes C02 quite fast...I usually get about 5 good clips (around 80 shots ) then the power starts to die off quick.
